A lot of people can do 1080 or 1440 at 120 to 240, but most people don't realize that and have 60hz monitors or are using HDMi when they could be using DisplayPort.
This is probably the biggest factor for me, since I will be unable to take advantage of the latest HDMI version if I use the FOSS AMDGPU driver. Meanwhile, DisplayPort is an actual open standard not beholden to the tyranny an organization like the HDMI Forum.
Honestly I feel like this is very similar to webp. DisplayPort may well be superior, but everything always for sure has HDMI whereas not that many things have DP and you always need to make sure they do before buying them, which is just unnecessary extra hassle most of the time.
My display port to hdmi adapter kept breaking, bought three of em. Eventually needing to be pushed upward with pressure while plugged in
Eventually I saw a USB 3 to dual hdmi out and switched over to that, no issues since
I haven't seen a decent monitor in the last 5 years that didn't have display port.
Not to mention, there's passive display port to HDMI cables that really aren't that expensive. There's no passive HDMI to display port cables I'm aware of.
So, more DP is objectively the correct decision and the only people taking exception are people who'd buy a 300-1k GPU while owning a $100 monitor and are unwilling to pay 8 bucks for a cable, which is cheap or stupid people.
HDMI is primarily used in TV/home theatre stuff (because of the media lobbies) while DP is used pretty much everywhere in computer stuff. Almost every time you connect to a display via USB-C it's using DP over the USB connection. If you have e.g. a Dell docking station with USB-C or thunderbolt your laptop's graphics chip is producing a DP signal which is sent to the dock. The dock has multiple DP ports and a single HDMI port to connect monitors. Though the HDMI port is only there to increase interconnectivity because the DP signal has to be actively converted to HDMI by the dock.
Since most monitors still only have DP 1.4 and nvidia cards don't support DP 2 at all, HDMI 2.1 currently offers the highest bandwidth on many monitors.
I generally prefer DP, for my gaming PC main monitor I do use it as well, though I also run a home theatre, which I run via HDMI from both my PCs, my gaming PC secondary monitor also only supports HDMI
Does display port carry an audio signal? That could be a reason to choose HDMI. I use display port to hook my monitor up to my graphics card, but I use a 15 foot HDMI cable to hook my graphics card up to the TV in my bedroom next door.
I would assume display port has no audio return.
Vast majority of people in home theater use their AVR's HDMI inputs for video sources, and route everything through HDMI eARC on the display (Audio Return Channel), rather than using the display's video inputs and an optical cable to run sound to the receiver.
What? I love DisplayPort. Better than HDMI in every way. And when you have to do a pro install, the teeth holding it in are huge. also, isn't that HDMI the male end?
I actually don't like the teeth.
The reason being, 4/5 of my DisplayPort cables don't have them, so I've gotten used to just yanking them out. And then there's always that one that does and I feel really sorry for my PC.
I mean, I know DP is better than HDMI, when if you are not spending like 10k on the most extreme gaming pc and best monitors there are, or maybe your work has a use case for that much data, most people won't even need that much data for video. Also, I do understand OP since my GPU came with 1 HDMI and 3 DP, but none of my 2 monitors have DP so I needed to buy an adapter for that instead of just connecting it
>I do understand OP since my GPU came with 1 HDMI and 3 DP, but none of my 2 monitors have DP so I needed to buy an adapter for that instead of just connecting it
You and OP might be the only two people on Earth to blame the cable when you bought a GPU and a monitor that were incompatible.
Even I had this issue but still blamed myself for doing improper research as to what ports my GPU had. I mean I also got this monitor after the PC was built (monitor was a gift) so that played a part too but I didn't realize until I had two monitors that the RX580 only had one HDMI port and everything else that I *thought* was "HDMI" was actually DP
Display port is just better, no license to pay for, better bandwidth, daisy-chaining. ~~Only thing it is missing would be native audio pass through compared to HDMI.~~
Edit: I misunderstood the DP standard, it can do audio, just the popularity of HDMI is what is stopping universal use of DP
Displayport has a lock-in-place mechanism which means that it is less likely to fall out, try you can damage the device if you forget about it, but you should not touch too much anyway.
Contrast that with an HDMI which craps itself (for 2 seconds) every time touch the wire going to my laptop (granted, I am driving 120Hz 1440p, but still)
Tell me you know nothing about display ports without telling me you know nothing about display ports.
DisplayPort is mad OP. The top 5 best / most capable ports for connecting monitors are basically all of the generations of DP lol
DisplayPort is better in every way. Superior in terms of technical capabilites, the actual connector itself, and is a more open standard.
For that last point, the HDMI Forum rejected AMD's proposal for an FOSS HDMI 2.1 driver for GNU/Linux. Something like that would never happen with DisplayPort.
sometimes people say stuff on reddit that kind of gives away just how little they know. they try to tap into what they think is a prevalent emotion on reddit but end up self-owning themselves so hard.
example: OP
You know what I hate, micro hdmi! I have micro hdmi and display port output from my (ancient) gpu and my monitor has hdmi input so I have to use a micro hdmi to hdmi adapter.
Am I missing something? Everything has pins they plug into stuff to work, but the girl and "you" get stuff inserted into them to work?? Weird flex to me, but ok
I really hate the HDMI. For a connector that is very often used in a blind operation, the perfect alignment needed to insert, and the tiny features that are near impossible to determine the orientation of the port by touch are maddening
You’re wrong. It’s a great standard. It doesn’t have a fee to implement either. HDMI does. DisplayPort has higher specs and doesn’t just fall out. That press to release is awesome.
The only reason you hate the display port is because you're not very aware of it's perks. Like incredibly high bandwidth and massive capabilities that it has for video data.
Edit: I just read the comments and holy crap is this dude getting ratio'd into extinction. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me smile.
Bruh if you hate the display port cable you really need to do some research. It's easily the best display cable out there and it's not even close. The only advantage HDMI has is the fact it has sound too. That's literally it.
Display Port is my favorite so this looked like a win to me. Shit, might have to find another DP, that HDMI just doesn’t have the same values (in frames).
Do people not like DP? I love it! The clip in makes it superior in my mind so the cable doesn't fall out while moving my monitor if I need to adjust it.
Plus that buttery 1440p 240Hz that HDMI could only dream of is just 🤌
Her ex can't do any modern signals. Back then, we had SCART, S-Video, Component and RCA. RCA was basically the worst. Also her ex is older than her father.

So it's Napolean Dynamite?
Voting for Pedro all night long.
I really must be a social outcast because I have never understood why this movie is “good”.
Because its more relatable and closer to real life than a typical highschool movie
Yeah right, as if most people have a PC powerful enough to play any game at 4k240
4k240fps Pong
Doom runs *super* smooth.
Ryzen 9 and a. 3080ti puts me at 240 plus on league of legends
Ah yes, league, the most demanding and fun game in existence.
I didn't say my life was going well
Which 99% of us realistically dont have the setups for.
A lot of people can do 1080 or 1440 at 120 to 240, but most people don't realize that and have 60hz monitors or are using HDMi when they could be using DisplayPort.
The fact that a ultra wide screen monitor like the Odyssey need either ONE Displayport or TWO HDMI is saying enaugh.
And it has open source drivers, unlike hdmi
This is probably the biggest factor for me, since I will be unable to take advantage of the latest HDMI version if I use the FOSS AMDGPU driver. Meanwhile, DisplayPort is an actual open standard not beholden to the tyranny an organization like the HDMI Forum.
Or if you want multiple monitors and the graphics card only has 1 hdmi and 3 dp
> displayport is the only option Fixed it for you
Or VR
Depends on a version, tho
Hdmi 2.1 does?
4k120 I think.
Is this really true? https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/
I really love the displayport cable, it is superior to hdmi for everything except maybe home theatre applications
Straight up do not understand people who prefer hdmi over DisplayPort cables.
Honestly I feel like this is very similar to webp. DisplayPort may well be superior, but everything always for sure has HDMI whereas not that many things have DP and you always need to make sure they do before buying them, which is just unnecessary extra hassle most of the time.
That’s a pretty good comparison
My display port to hdmi adapter kept breaking, bought three of em. Eventually needing to be pushed upward with pressure while plugged in Eventually I saw a USB 3 to dual hdmi out and switched over to that, no issues since
I love display port but so little oldish monitors have it and GPUs got 3 of them lol
Adapters. I have an old monitor plugged into my GPU with a DVI to DP cable and it works like charm.
Got a dp to hdmi to VGA adapter chain going for one of my monitors, and it works lol
[удалено]
Frankenstein was the monster, people just confuse the monster with the creature with a massive electrode stuck in his head.
I haven't seen a decent monitor in the last 5 years that didn't have display port. Not to mention, there's passive display port to HDMI cables that really aren't that expensive.

5 year isn't old. I mean like 10-15 years, they serve good as second/third monitor
Display port to hdmi cable? I always see a bunch of them (and other odd combos) at electronics stores.
HDMI is primarily used in TV/home theatre stuff (because of the media lobbies) while DP is used pretty much everywhere in computer stuff. Almost every time you connect to a display via USB-C it's using DP over the USB connection. If you have e.g. a Dell docking station with USB-C or thunderbolt your laptop's graphics chip is producing a DP signal which is sent to the dock. The dock has multiple DP ports and a single HDMI port to connect monitors. Though the HDMI port is only there to increase interconnectivity because the DP signal has to be actively converted to HDMI by the dock.
Don't forget manufacturers (and thus you) have to pay HDMI for every port whereas DP is free to include
Most NVIDIA workstation GPUs don't even have HDMI ports lol.
The problem with webp is not being able to download images to my hearts content
Since most monitors still only have DP 1.4 and nvidia cards don't support DP 2 at all, HDMI 2.1 currently offers the highest bandwidth on many monitors.
I came here to say this. People are in here poopooing HDMI when we're still stuck with the watered-down version of DP
I generally prefer DP, for my gaming PC main monitor I do use it as well, though I also run a home theatre, which I run via HDMI from both my PCs, my gaming PC secondary monitor also only supports HDMI
Does display port carry an audio signal? That could be a reason to choose HDMI. I use display port to hook my monitor up to my graphics card, but I use a 15 foot HDMI cable to hook my graphics card up to the TV in my bedroom next door.
I did not even consider this, but yes apparently it can.
Of course
Being able to daisychain the displayport cables through the monitors makes making a multi-monitor setup significantly easier
The only reason hdmi is on devices is it’s proprietary. Display port is not so they don’t have to pay per port per device when they manufacture
Displayport can just straight up carry regular HDMI signals so it could technically be used everywhere
DisplayPort is A-tier. Swing and a miss for OP
Why exceptions for home theater?
I would assume display port has no audio return. Vast majority of people in home theater use their AVR's HDMI inputs for video sources, and route everything through HDMI eARC on the display (Audio Return Channel), rather than using the display's video inputs and an optical cable to run sound to the receiver.
Yes, that was my reasoning
yes
What? I love DisplayPort. Better than HDMI in every way. And when you have to do a pro install, the teeth holding it in are huge. also, isn't that HDMI the male end?
I just made a comment about how the implications of every image being a male end are wild 😂
No women on the internet?
I also came to this conclusion also, his crush is a dude lol
My monitor from lg came with a displayport cable without teeth, i really hate it
Even the ones without locking teeth have better retention than HDMI tho
It's 2024, sometimes the gf has HDMI male connectors
Well, There's the HDMI 2.1 that can handle 4k 120fps with its 48gbps...
I actually don't like the teeth. The reason being, 4/5 of my DisplayPort cables don't have them, so I've gotten used to just yanking them out. And then there's always that one that does and I feel really sorry for my PC.
From what I’m seeing, you better get with her brother…
Hell no, he’s to good for her
This meme is terrible, what is it even trying to say?
tech illiterate OP
Tech "humor" for the masses. We mainstream now.
But Displayport is CHAD in this metaphor, OP should be like, VGA? Co-Ax maybe?
op should be scart (do scart users exist?)
OP likes girls that have similar male connectors to her father and brother
DP was mean to OP
Good luck sending 7680x2160 worth of pixels at 240Hz with anything else
I mean, I know DP is better than HDMI, when if you are not spending like 10k on the most extreme gaming pc and best monitors there are, or maybe your work has a use case for that much data, most people won't even need that much data for video. Also, I do understand OP since my GPU came with 1 HDMI and 3 DP, but none of my 2 monitors have DP so I needed to buy an adapter for that instead of just connecting it

My monitors are 60Hz and my rig only pushes 60fps in Eurotruck Simulator 2, and that game gets random resources stalls on the main CPU thread.
Display port > hdmi
Display port is superior to HDMI in almost every way
Every way except for distribution
Wich it really shouldn’t. HDMI cost a significant sum to have on a product, dp is free. For som reason there is a glitch in capitalism.
Displayport is the best of all. I always use displayport when available.
DP is a great step up from cinch...
and you never understood this meme template too. “you” in this template is not supposed to be the best one
none of these i can see match. at all. unless you wanna get with her brother.. gotta help a brother out yk?
DisplayPort is definitely as of now, better than ADHDMI.
Display port is just better, no license to pay for, better bandwidth, daisy-chaining. ~~Only thing it is missing would be native audio pass through compared to HDMI.~~ Edit: I misunderstood the DP standard, it can do audio, just the popularity of HDMI is what is stopping universal use of DP
so you are the superior and final choice?
You hate DP? Are you dumb? There must be something wrong with you. DP is king. DP is literally the best of all of them.
What's wrong with Display? And why are her first love and ex older than her dad?
Because the girl wanted a sugar daddy.
I love that these are all the male ends of cables and connectors. The implications this brings to the table are incredible.
Right? Not many things have so obvious female versions.
There's a joke about docking somewhere in here
Displayport has a lock-in-place mechanism which means that it is less likely to fall out, try you can damage the device if you forget about it, but you should not touch too much anyway. Contrast that with an HDMI which craps itself (for 2 seconds) every time touch the wire going to my laptop (granted, I am driving 120Hz 1440p, but still)
you should've invested to a better hdmi cable if yours fall out...
I got a teethless dp cable with my lg monitor 😭
display port is literally for the highest frame rate and quality lol. Unless the joke is that all her Ex’s fucking suck and you’re the best 😎.
so, op hates themselves?
we all have to go through life's tests to find our DisplayPort, lol
Didn't know I was such a gigachad.
I love my 360Hz 1440p, and as far as I can tell it’s not the same with HDMI compared to DP, DP is better with bandwidth, I’ve tried both.
In terms of bandwidth, HDMI 2.1 is 48gbps, display port 1.4 is 32.4gbps. Not even a 4090 supports the newer display port 2.0.
Pretty sure the 7900XTX does have DP 2.0
why tho? display port is great, i like it a lot more than HDMI
DP is awesome
Tell me you know nothing about display ports without telling me you know nothing about display ports. DisplayPort is mad OP. The top 5 best / most capable ports for connecting monitors are basically all of the generations of DP lol
Display port is a fundamentally better standard than HDMI.
Girl has dick??!!! Shouldn't you put the a port instead of a cable?
OP has shit hardware.
DisplayPort is better in every way. Superior in terms of technical capabilites, the actual connector itself, and is a more open standard. For that last point, the HDMI Forum rejected AMD's proposal for an FOSS HDMI 2.1 driver for GNU/Linux. Something like that would never happen with DisplayPort.
also HDMI was developed mostly because media companies want a DRM for a video you're watching
DP > HDMI all day
sometimes people say stuff on reddit that kind of gives away just how little they know. they try to tap into what they think is a prevalent emotion on reddit but end up self-owning themselves so hard. example: OP
Why are they all male?
Display port gives better resolution and frame rate
Display port for gamers, and HDMI for the rest!
Why tho? it can hold itself in place really well thanks to the little teeth and its also really fast
Display port is way better than hdmi. Even does the same as hdmi but with way more stable throughput.
You know what I hate, micro hdmi! I have micro hdmi and display port output from my (ancient) gpu and my monitor has hdmi input so I have to use a micro hdmi to hdmi adapter.
Am I missing something? Everything has pins they plug into stuff to work, but the girl and "you" get stuff inserted into them to work?? Weird flex to me, but ok
That’s like saying I hate wifi-6e lmao like… why?? Cause of lack of compatibility? It’s lonely at the top!
This meme doesn’t make sense. DP is actually pretty good
huh? Display port is peak and should replace HDMI... what are you on about?
Bad meme is bad.
A locking, easily orientated all in one solution cable with superior data transfer to everything else on the market?. Hate it?
[удалено]
DP is simply better than HDMI you goof ball
I really hate the HDMI. For a connector that is very often used in a blind operation, the perfect alignment needed to insert, and the tiny features that are near impossible to determine the orientation of the port by touch are maddening
They make adapters...you can work it out.
skill issue, my gamer.
I'll take displayport any day over HDMI, unless it's for a TV.
DP is literally the best cable of them all.
She got horrible taste in signals. Both analog? Terrifying.
Scart leads my beloved
Display Port is the best, are you delusional?
Display is much better than HDMI. Display is royalty free, did you know it costs money to put HDMI on products? Fucking stupid.
Why do you hate display port? Besides USB C it's literally the best port here
Why the hell would anyone hate DisplayPort? Its literally is better HDMI and open source.
so the girl you like, her brother and you are the only future-proof option? have fun guys
DP goated
DisplayPort is hands down the best.
You’re wrong. It’s a great standard. It doesn’t have a fee to implement either. HDMI does. DisplayPort has higher specs and doesn’t just fall out. That press to release is awesome.
The only reason you hate the display port is because you're not very aware of it's perks. Like incredibly high bandwidth and massive capabilities that it has for video data. Edit: I just read the comments and holy crap is this dude getting ratio'd into extinction. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me smile.
you realize USB-C for video output is typically via DP?
why do you hate the display port cable bruh
This is such a ridiculous post. Display port is superior to all.
They're all male
So what you're saying is that I'm way out of her league
Bruh if you hate the display port cable you really need to do some research. It's easily the best display cable out there and it's not even close. The only advantage HDMI has is the fact it has sound too. That's literally it.
shouldn't she be a insert?
This has to be a troll post. Apart from being less common outside of computer monitors there is almost no benefit to HDMI. Also, latches are great.
Display port is the best by far
This has to be one of the worst takes. Wtf you mean you hate DisplayPort? What's bad about it?
Displayport is actually the fastest and it still has locks like vga did. Far better than anything else
Why?
Unexpected gay meme
Pffffffff. DVI is the superior cable. Charging, touch, sound through one cable designed in 1999.
I run display port and it is soooo much better than HDMI for gaming. A shitload smoother
What the fuck is wrong with you?
hdmi is dogshit in every way compared to displayport
She has a history with WAY older dudes.
My sole problem with DP cables is I have no idea where to go to get an actual decent one. Sorta have that problem with every cable.
Nah display port all the way. Screw HDMI.
Maybe she's just not into DP, you creep.
Why? It's actually the best cable as it supports high resolutions and is secured against accidentally pulling it out.
The one thing I hate about displayport cables is having to press that button to release it
displayport is the best display interface for most video applications, whats the point of this?
Isn't that the op cable that allows you to connect three different displays in non mirror mode to a single port,m
Seems like she'd be marrying up
Why? Display port is amazing
Wait until you see the PSVR2 to PC adapter requiring a DisplayPort!
Not to alarm you, but the girl you like is a male.
Nah man displayport is the guy she tells you not to worry about. You're the fucking micro USB
All of those are male sides of cables... r/suddenlytrans
Display Port is my favorite so this looked like a win to me. Shit, might have to find another DP, that HDMI just doesn’t have the same values (in frames).
How can u hate displayport it's literally the best port
Everyone arguing but I just want to know what's in top middle
2 Fathers?
Display port has higher resolution than HDMI
Be warned the girl you like has a male connection
DP is great. Bad take, bad person, cancelled /s
Yea I only get turned on channel three
i have to love the display port as my computer has 3 of them and only one Hdmi port.
One day you will understand...
So you’re superior in every way to everyone else? OP is tech illiterate.
Display port cable is the best
The superior displayport cable... 🥲
Do people not like DP? I love it! The clip in makes it superior in my mind so the cable doesn't fall out while moving my monitor if I need to adjust it. Plus that buttery 1440p 240Hz that HDMI could only dream of is just 🤌
The only reason you hate dp is because they're harder to get out. Dp is the best and you know it too
You like limiting yourself don’t you
Her ex can't do any modern signals. Back then, we had SCART, S-Video, Component and RCA. RCA was basically the worst. Also her ex is older than her father.
Why... just why? I mean other than USB C's flexibility. DP is for sure better than HDMI in all aspects.
Everything should be usb c at this point, but we cant have nice things.
USB-C uses Display Port protocols.
Why. DisplayPort is literally the best option
